Attenuation dB/km is at 24 GHz and includes effects of oxygen and water vapor. Condensed water vapor is not included in attenuation. Sky temp includes contributions from the Universe background, oxygen and water vapor. N-units are Refractivity with N = 10^6 x (n-1) where n is the index of refraction. N-Gradient is N-units per km, with -40 typical at lower elevations, i.e., the 4/3 Earth. N-Gradients more negative than -157 support forming a duct, and are marked 'D'. # Height and M data for EREPS RAYS.EXE # Balloon data is KSLE_2008_12_04_0000Z @feet @range 200 km
